Patient Testimonial - ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplant

About Neha Singh's Treatment & Recovery

At just 29 years old, Neha Singh was facing the life-changing challenges of chronic kidney disease. Her journey took her to Medicover Hospitals, where the search for a suitable kidney donor presented a difficult hurdle: Neha's blood type (A) did not match her mother's blood type (B), the only willing donor in the family.

Neha found reassurance and hope in the care provided by Dr Amit Langot and the nephrology team, who paved the way for her to proceed through the advanced procedure of ABO-compatible kidney transplantation. This advanced medical procedure made it possible for Neha to receive a life-saving transplant from her mother, which led to her successful recovery.

In the Patient Words

"When I was first diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, it felt like the end of the road when I learned that my mother, although a perfect match, would not be able to donate her kidney due to our different blood groups. But Dr Amit Langot and the team at Medicover Hospitals in Navi Mumbai were very knowledgeable and compassionate. They explained the ABO-incompatible transplant procedure step by step and gave us the confidence to move forward. I am forever grateful that my mother stood by me during this time and seemed to have fully recovered after the surgery."

What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition in which the kidneys lose their ability to function properly over time. The kidneys are essential for filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood. When this function declines, waste products build up in the body, which can lead to serious health problems. Symptoms may be subtle at first but may include:

If CKD progresses to end-stage kidney failure, a patient typically requires regular dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.

What Treatment did we provide to Neha Singh at Medicover?

The optimal treatment for Neha's condition is an ABO-compatible kidney transplant. As in the case of Neha and her mother, this procedure is chosen when a willing and compatible living donor has a blood type different from that of the recipient. The treatment process includes:

Under the guidance of Dr Amit Langote, this specialized procedure allowed Neha to overcome the blood group barrier and receive a life-changing kidney transplant, facilitating her full recovery and return to health.
